Chapter 1339: 323

"How dare you, young one!?"

The voice, like a thunderous might, rang in Lu Qingyan’s ears.

She felt as if struck by lightning, her mind went blank, her body sank heavily, collapsing to the ground, vomiting blood, overwhelmed by a strong sense of suffocation.

The next moment.

"Roar roar roar——"

The Flood Dragon roared.

An overwhelming Qi-blood surged like a tide to the sky, akin to a beacon of smoke rising, sweeping through the heavens.

A tall and mighty figure of a man appeared before Lu Qingyan.

His entire form blazed like golden cast, exuding a powerful sense of strength.

His body emitted booming roars, like crashing waves, forming a golden sea around him.

The pressure that made her body heavy and breathless was instantly scattered by this surge of Qi-blood.

"Does the senior bully the young, thinking there is no one in the Lu Family!"

Lu Ping’an’s physique fully reawakened, the ground beneath his feet cracking, collapsing, and shattering under the terrifying might of Qi-blood.

It formed a tangible golden Qi force, charging towards Shangguan Jiuyang.

"What’s happening!?"

"It looks like someone from Bi Lake Mountain killed someone from the Shangguan Family."

"Bi Lake Mountain is bold indeed, daring to kill a disciple of the Shendao Shangguan Family?"

"Heh, these Xianmen Noble Families, aren’t you aware, we loose cultivators enter the secret realm only to be slaughtered by them, the Bi Lake Mountain Lu Family must have been driven to desperation."

"Tsk tsk, even if killed, it’s done, this one was killed with a breath left to escape the secret realm, no wonder this Shangguan Ancestor is so furious."

"What terrifying Qi-blood and physique! This Lu Family Ancestor is indeed extraordinary!"

"Yes, he doesn’t seem like an ordinary body refining cultivator."

The cultivators outside the secret realm were all shocked and suspicious, discussing the sudden situation.

They didn’t expect such a scene right after the secret realm ended.

"This is not the place for you to wreak havoc!"

At this moment, the Nascent Soul Immortal from the Heavenly Sword Sect looked at the two and sternly scolded.

His words carried a sharpness, naturally imposing without anger, like a heavenly sword striking the two, causing Lu Ping’an and Shangguan Jiuyang to tremble, their mana and Qi-blood surging turbulently.

This Purple Shadow Secret Realm was under the control and host of the Four Great Immortal Sects.

Now, even though the secret realm had not fully ended, the two were already causing a scene in public, if it weren’t under his sect’s governance, he would have immediately struck them down.

"I lost control of my emotions for a moment, please forgive me, True Man!"

Shangguan Jiuyang quickly made the salute with clasped hands towards the Nascent Soul Immortal from the Heavenly Sword Sect, suppressing his anger.

Even though the Shangguan Family is a Core Formation Noble Family, they dare not be disrespectful before a Nascent Soul Immortal.

"Please forgive me, True Man."

Lu Ping’an also made the salute with clasped hands to the Nascent Soul Immortal.

"This shall not happen again."

The Nascent Soul Immortal from the Heavenly Sword Sect withdrew his gaze, and the scene was as quiet as the dead.

"Xiaoyan, how are you?"

Lu Ping’an helped Lu Qingyan up, asking with concern.

"Big brother, I’m fine."

Lu Qingyan replied weakly.

If it weren’t for her body cultivation reaching the Second Rank, the oppressive aura would’ve shattered all her bones.

But even now, she felt uncomfortable, her Qi-blood reversing, flesh and bones breaking.

"Lu Ping’an, do you dare to fight outside Purple Cloud Gorge!"

At this moment, Shangguan Jiuyang landed, collected the lifeless body of Shangguan Fei, looked at Lu Ping’an, and spoke in a low voice.

Though unclear about the specific situation.

But seeing the corpse of Shangguan Fei and several shattered soul plates on him, he could guess the general situation.

"In the Purple Shadow Secret Realm, life and death are determined by fate, if one’s skills are inferior, accept the defeat gracefully."

A nearby elderly man with an immortal aura looked over, speaking lightly.

He was a Nascent Soul Immortal from the Qingyun Sect.

With Bi Lake Mountain being under the jurisdiction of the Qingyun Sect, they could be considered half members of the Qingyun Sect.

Allowing them to be bullied would be like slapping the Qingyun Sect’s face.

Moreover, he remembered that Bi Lake Mountain had some connection with Caiyun Peak.

Now, Caiyun Peak had a duo who formed Dual Core Formation, and Yun Wanshang had even reached the Core Formation Late Stage, so he was willing to offer some favor.

"The True Man is right."

Though Shangguan Jiuyang was a saber cultivator with a domineering personality.

He still knew his manners before a Nascent Soul Immortal.

"If you want to fight, fine, let’s settle it outside Purple Cloud Gorge!"

Lu Ping’an knew that if the matter wasn’t resolved today, the Shangguan Family wouldn’t simply let it go.

Moreover, with them attacking Lu Qingyan in public like this, as her big brother, he couldn’t remain indifferent.

Besides, he wasn’t just representing himself now, but the entire family!

If he showed weakness and dared not to fight, it would disgrace the family!

"Good!"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jiuyang’s eyes flashed with sharp light, and he said, "A battle outside Purple Cloud Gorge, if you defeat me, today’s grudge ends here."

After saying that, he carried Shangguan Fei’s body back to the Divine Vessel.

As for what would happen if Lu Ping’an lost, he didn’t say.

Because if defeated, Lu Ping’an would be a soul slain under his saber, and there was no need to say anything more!

The Nascent Soul Immortal from the Qingyun Sect, watching the situation unfold, frowned slightly.

He could see that Lu Ping’an was not a match for Shangguan Jiuyang, which was why he extended a kindness.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ping’an did not accept it.

"Thank you for your kind intentions, Senior!"

Lu Ping’an immediately made the salute with clasped hands to the Nascent Soul Immortal, expressing his gratitude.

He understood it was meant for his own good.

But after the medicinal bath, his Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art had nearly reached the peak of the Eight Level.

He also had the Blackwater Dragon Spirit Weapon in hand, confident he could fight!

"Hmm."

Bai Yun the True Man shook his head, thinking that after all, youth is easily swayed by emotions.

Yet, he could understand.

Lu Ping’an, as a clan cultivator, achieving such accomplishments at a young age, a bit of pride was quite normal.

"But how many geniuses, due to too much pride, meet premature ends."

Bai Yun the True Man planned to watch a bit later.
